Constructive ideas
 

Lot of talk about lack of support/apathy, but what are we doing to address it? Anyone got any ideas of how to attract a few extra bodies - i'll give a couple for starters:

Free bus from Accy town centre to the ground before the game (sponsored by the publicans/transport companies)

Happy hours in the club/local pubs immediatley before or/and after the game

Invite teams from Sunday Leagues to attend each match - should boost the bar takings and one or two may get bitten with the same bug we've got

Have a Ladies day

They may be crap suggestions, but we must be able to come up with something between us all.

We need to build on what we've got - not keep harping on about what's wrong.

Live within our means
Win more games
Keep JC at all costs
Spread the word
Let Eric do his job
Be Proud to be ASFC
Enjoy the Ride

I think the family tickets the club brought in were great ideas so something more along those lines because the financial aspect is something that will put a lot of people off coming to games.

Hardly inspiring Willie...

With all your artistic flair I would have expected more.

Re: Constructive ideas
 

We are being unrealistic, we only gain new fans by winning games (cup runs/promotions) like all clubs. I went with a Radio Lancs reporter & a megaphone & 10 free tickets to Stanley when we were romping away with the League & still people wouldn't come....

Good marketing works of course, but it ainb't gonna double our attendance....

I've stood in town trying to persuade but footie fans havetheir clubs they don't change cause we want them to (now if someone could get rid of Rovers, Burnely, Man Utd, Everton & Liverpool we'd be fine)

Re: Constructive ideas
 

we need to designate a weekend and ALL contribute to the cause. Throw everything in the arsenal at the public of Accrington and see what happens. We could call it red and white fortnight ................

We are in the football league ....

Fraser eagle cant fill a coach.
Ultras cant fill a minibus
I cant even fill my car for wycombe

Whats wrong with that picture?

Re: Constructive ideas
 

we were discussing this last night, I have a few asian friends they know I love footie and were asking about Baines as one of my mates daughters went to the match on saturday because she had heard about Baines, however she was disappointed that he was not playing, but she did manage to say hello and get his autograph, she says her and her mates will definately be attending every home game from now on, its a start.

Unfortunately Rikki wont.

Hope Ricki wasn't the only reason they wanted to come and that they still give it a go now he's gone
